During this period of time, her undying patience and kindness . . . her helpful criticisms . . . and her ever ready suggestions have helped greatly in making each publication of the Rosemary a pleasant job. As a teacher of English Literature, we know Miss Rompel as a friendly person whom we all admire. And so, to you. Miss Rompel, we dedicate our 1950 Rosemary. Lett—How many yeors is it. Miss Rompel? As Marilyn Webber looks on. Miss Rompel cuts her cake ot the birthday party given her by the Rosemary Staff. Right—Who wrote Paradise Lost ? Well, let's see now! The 1950 Rosemary 5 The spirit of an exciting and colorful cir- cus flourished under our Big Top during the past year. The three-rings, classes, activities, and athletics kept our 574 clowns tripping up and down the four midways. Our out-of-town contests gave us a taste of different surroundings. We admit, we might hove forgotten our tickets or paid too much for pink lemonade, but, as o whole, the year was just as exciting as Ringling Brothers Circus. We, The Rosemary Staff, hope our re- view of this year will be read and enjoyed by all, and in the future it will help YOU recall those wonderful days at UHS. 07 viecuwut ■ M VN l JM , i ADMINISTRATION J e Tytaviaye i, . , Oca Sccfrenmtettclcctt MR. c. c. LOEW Superintendent of Schools With new improvements already completed and other plans in the making, Mr. C. C. Loew has completed his second successful year as Superintendent of Schools. Work- ing in cooperation with the Urbana School Board, Mr. Loew has formulated marked improvements for the Urbana schools. Mr. Loew came to Urbana with a B.A. received from Illinois College and an M.A, from Washington Uni- versity. Before joining the Urbana School System, Mr. Loew taught at Community High School, Litchfield, Illi- nois and was Superintendent of Schools at Lebanon and Lowrenceville, Illinois. When not at school, Mr. Loew could be found at home with his wife and his two sons, Fred, o senior at UHS, and Larry, an eighth grader at Thornburn Junior High School. Besides the many duties involved in running a successful school system, Mr. Loew headed on inservice training program as recommended by the school survey. He was assisted in this by the Bureau of Research of the University of Illinois. Nearly all the teachers in the Urbana schools took part in this program. One of the major projects of the year undertaken by Mr. Loew and the Board of Education was the planning of new buildings and additions to the Urbana schools. This extensive program, recommended by the survey and ap- proved by the voters, was a definite step forward toward an improved school system. The new plans include addi- tions to three grade schools, a new Southeast grade school, a new junior high school to be built next to Urbana Mc- Kinley field and a new gymnasium which will seat 3,600 people. In analyzing his own work and the activities of the Board, Mr. Loew stated that these in the Urbana School System feel their schools are moving forward, and they hope to make such improvements as will place their schools □mong the leading school systems in the state of Illinois.

By capably fulfilling his administrative duties and putting new ideas and plans into effect, Mr. Braun has greotly improved our high school. Throughout the year Mr. Braun has completed several worthwhile proj- ects. In co-operation with the University of Illinois, he organized a county- wide career conference for high school seniors. He did an outstanding job as manager and host of the 1950 Sectional Tournament held in the Urbana National Guard Armory. Mr. Braun was also host to the District Music Con- test held at UHS in March. Our principal served on the committee for revis- ing the rules of the Big Twelve Conference and a committee for setting up an inservice training program for the Urbana School System. At the same time Mr. Braun worked in co-operation with the English Department in ini- tiating a new course. Creative Writing, for advanced English students. We will always remember Mr. Braun, our Ring-Leader, as a friendly and democratic person. The 1950 Rosemary 11 rfteittaat dteadera MISS SARAH FISHZR Dean of Girls MR. RALPH DAVIS Dean of Boys Ever ready with guidance and suggestions for UHS students was Miss Sarah Fisher, our popular Dean of Girls and Assistant Principal. Along with her many administrative duties, Miss Fisher taught classes in shorthand and sponsored Social Klub. She also played a large part in planning the first annual conference on University of Illinois colleges. Because of her kindness and interest. Miss Fisher was considered a true friend by UHS girls. Miss Fisher writes Carol Mayfield o tardy slip! Mr. Davis gives Lyle Corson a few tips! One of the best-liked persons around UHS this year was Mr. Davis, our congenial Dean of Boys and Assistant Principal. A great deal of Dean Davis' time was spent in counseling and advising the boys of UHS. Along with his administrative duties, he also taught classes in General Science and was the sponsor of Student Council. Known for his easy-going manner and his pleasant personality, Mr. Davis has estab- lished a high place in the hearts of the students. The 1950 Rosemary Mr. EUGENE B. ARMER B.Ed., M S.

Oun Settiarb Sty 'Parade , Max Hickerson, President Dick Valentine, Vice-President Janet Green, Rosemary Representative Everett Smith, Treasurer Elinor Silver, Secretary Our circus days in UHS are over! We must leave the Big Ring and enter into a new act—an act that we will live for the rest of our lives. Some of us will enter o larger circus and further our education; others will obtain jobs and put into use the tricks that we have learned during the past four years. Each per- former has accepted his responsibilities and carried out his duties efficiently during these four years. He has helped the Big Tent to be a place of friendli- ness, good sportsmanship, and good scholarship. We appreciate what our trainers have taught us, for it will be of great use to us in the future. Usually, one of our members led each big act. Our athletes were tops! We'll never forget the many out- of-town games—cheering our teams on to victory and praising them even in defeat. Neither will we forget the little things that made these days memorable— standing in the drenching rain at track meets, dancing at the Youth Center, forgetting money during Sadie Hawkins Week, the bashful boys growing up, exer- cises in P. E., modern dancing, and track in the halls. No matter where we, the Class of '50, may journey during the coming years, in our hearts we will always hold a place for the Big Tent, the performers, and the trainers.

The 1950 Rosemary ..............Ocvi CLASS OFFICERS Jean Mattlin, Secretary Barbara Apperson, Vice-President Beverly Valentine, Treasurer Barbara Brown, President Janet Phillips, Rosemary Representative We, the proud and energetic juniors, have just finished our most exciting year in UHS. If you'll recall, you have seen us about in plays, music organizations and in clubs. Our class had its share of athletes who were backed by the great rooters of our class. Only twice before in UHS history have five girls been elected junior class officers. In the spring, plenty of excitement was stirring when our beautiful class rings arrived and when prom plans were being made. We, the juniors, were well represented on Echos from Urbana High, both Rosemary and Echo staffs, F. H. A., G. A. A., Interna- tional Language Club, the U Club, band, library, baton twirling, and Psi. Many other juniors were outstanding members of Student Council, while one of our junior girls was voted the best Daisy Mae at the Sadie Haw- kins Dance. How could we ever forget those junior re- quired courses! We don't know who went mad first, Miss Rompel's students or Macbeth. Re- member the good times in Woody's Civics and Economics classes? And all the modern danc- ers! A new unforgettable experience of the juniors was ASDF-JKL in typing. Our class with its one hundred forty-one members is looking forward with great antici- pation to our senior year. 38 The 1950 Rosemary MISS BAUER—Firs� row—Hoines, Dolbey, Current.

We were probably most amazed at the confusion of the new freshmen, be- cause the experience of being familiar with the sur- roundings and students blotted out our own mem- ories of a year ago. During the year, the quiet of the halls was occa- sionally penetrated by the squeals of the squeamish who were dissecting frogs in biology class. At times the mysteries of geometry seemed out of reach, but were eventually revealed, and the knee-knocking, word-stammering experiences of speech class were sometimes embarrassing. Many sophomores were attracted to such languages as Latin, German, French, and Spanish. The class of '52 was well represented in the field of athletics. Their outstanding ability and per- formance on the gridiron, hardwood, cinders, and in the water was rewarded by the presentation of letters.

No less outstanding was the enthusiasm with which we supported our teams. The response to the reserve cheerleaders indi- cates that good cheers will accompany good teams for the next two years. In G. A. A. the sophomore girls displayed their athletic power by defeating the seniors to become basketball champions. Several of us at- tained the honor of being admitted to Lambda and much of our talent was ob- served in the P. T. A. carnival talent show. Through Student Council, our representa- tives played an important part in promoting student government policies. In the sophomore year we begin to lay the formal foundations for what we wish and expect to do in the future, whether it is going to college or entering a vocation. This year has been a great success and we are looking forward to two more exciting years at Urbona High School. The modern dance assembly—Left to right: Rohdy, Statlcr, Jardinc, Creekmur.

The 1950 Rosemary , , , Oeci SWtta aufo After stumbling through grode school ond junior high, we entered the impressive Urbona High School to become the green freshmen of 1949-50. We were introduced to the school on Orientation Day by meeting our teachers, hearing about clubs, and being shown around the immense building. Just when we were getting o good impression of our school, informal initiations came our way. But we found out that they weren't so bad, and we even enjoyed some of them. When we finally settled down, we elected our class officers and our delegates to different clubs. Many of us selected clubs to join and soon became active members. Our boys gave a fine representation in the ath- letic field. The boys who picked football played BOOKSALES CONTEST WINNER Rosemary Booksalesmon—Alice Kinneor MRS.

Our basketball boys did the same by playing hard at the National Guard Armory. Our wrestlers did a wonderful job on the mats by winning and sometimes pinning their opponents. Some boys got practice in swimming so they will be able to compete in later years. Our track men worked to build themselves into future track stars. All freshmen showed good sportsmanship throughout the year by cheering as loudly as they could. And so, we have completed one of our most wonderful and happy years. Looking into the future, we see three grand years await- ing the Freshmen, the Class of '53. FRESHMAN HOMEROOM MISS CADE—First row—Stahl, Felkner, Dalbey, Fryer. Second row—Eskew, Gregory, J.

Our work was divided into two parts. First came the money-making projects! Headed by Aletha Bell, Advertising Manager, and Barbara Webber, Business Manager, the Business kept money rolling in. New advertising members worked with the old members in getting contracts, copy, and cuts. The ad staff made a wonderful showing, collecting one of the highest amounts of ads ever collected in one year. Booksales was another strong income. The staff also sponsored a hop. The second division of our work was the editing. Pic- ture taking by our ever-faithful photographer, Dick Hunt, came first on the calendar. Production was then stepped up as the staff wrote write-ups, identified pictures, and took receipts for books. Compiling the printer's dummy, proof reading and final checkups then climaxed our busy year. We are especially indebted to Carmen Mowry, our Art Editor, who did such a fine job with our drawings. Also, credit should be given to Bob Long, who was the highest ad salesman, bringing in $225 worth of ads. The whole staff deserves credit for their part in the compiling of the book. In dedicating our book to Miss Rompel, our advisor, we hope to express our gratitude for all she has done to help us. Now that you have your book, we hope that you will like our circus theme and enjoy the part that you play as our performers. Max Hickerson, Assistant Sports Editor; Fred Steggerda, Sports Editor.

Second row—Gregory, Moore, Barnes, Gregcr- son. Mock. Every two weeks during the school year, news of the UHS circus could be found in Urbana High's newspaper. The Echo. The Echo, spon- sored by Mr. Stanley Hynes and edited by Ann Litherland, gave the current news about UHS sports, fashions, club activities, gossip, and all other happenings under the big tent. Much work was involved in putting out each issue of The Echo. The editor was very ably assisted in this by the assistant editor, Mary Carol Waxier; the news editor, Mary Bills; the feature editor, Diane McClure; the copy editor, Gretchen Fisch; and the sports editor, Everett Smith. These people were responsible for assign- ing reporters to cover special items, and for see- ing that all stories were handed in by the dead- line. After the stories were in, the staff copy- read and typed them, and laid out the dummy issue. On each Thursday afternoon before The Echo was issued, the editor and several members of the staff went to the Courier office to make last-minute preparations. Other important steps in producing the news- paper were financing and circulating it. The problem of making The Echo pay for itself be- longed to John Hodson, the business manager. The circulation manager, Peggy Vowels, and the co-advertising managers, Pat Davidson and Betty Cook, worked with John. As circulation man- ager, Peggy was responsible for seeing that The Echos were distributed before three o'clock on Fridays and that there were salesmen to sell issues after school in the halls. Each issue sold for ten cents a copy, but activity ticket holders received their copies as part of the activity ticket program. On October 7 and 8, a group of The Echo staff attended the Illinois State High School Press As- sociation convention held on the U. of I. campus. They heard specialized talks and viewed displays of high school newspapers from all over the state. This year there were sixteen regular and one double issues of The Echo. On March 24, there appeared a special courtesy issue. The last one of the year, the eight-page issue, contained many articles about the graduating seniors. A number of the members of The Echo staff were chosen to become members of Quill and Scroll, the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. Although a great deal of effort was required by the editors, the staff, and the sponsor, every- one will agree that every issue of this year's Echo was a fine success.

The 1950 Rosemary 61 The student governing body at Urbono High School, the Student Council, is composed of rep- resentatives and their alternates from each home room, honorary members, and the presidents of the junior and senior classes. The first activity of the 1950 Student Council was the cleaning and polishing of the trophies and their cases, in late August. In September, to welcome the freshmen and other new students to Urbana High School, an Orientation Day was held. The new students met in the auditorium where senior activity leaders gave talks on activi- ties and athletics. A booklet of general infor- mation called Tigg was distributed to help them get acquainted with rules and regulations at Urbana High School. The new students were then taken on tours of the building and were served refreshments in the library by Ex Libris, the library club. To further honor the freshmen, a Freshman Frolic, the Council's first dance of the year, was held with junior, Joan Pergrem, as general chairman. In early October, the class elections, another S. C. sponsored activity, were Student OFFICERS Ann Litherlond, Porliomentorion Bottom—Pot Davidson, Treosurer Center—Cliff Schilling, Vice-President Top—Barbara Bell, Secretory Barbara Webber, President held with the usual gay campaign posters and interesting campaign assemblies. Senior, Betty Cook, was chairman of the event. A splendid and very successful Tri-Hi dance was held in November, by the Tri-Hi councils of Champaign, University High, and Urbana High Schools. Senior Joan Willard, elected Urbana Tri-Hi queen, reigned with the queens from the other two schools. Another highlight of the first semester was the Sadie Hawkins Week, climaxed by the annual Sadie Hawkins dance on Novem- ber 1 5. The girls did all the pursuing and paying that week. Seniors Barbara Bell and Betty Cook were co-chairmen of the event. In November the convention of the Champaign District Student Council Association was held in Decatur. Betty Cook, Champaign District Treasurer, helped make the convention a success. Ann Litherlond, council parliamentarian, was elected District President for 1950-51 and she attended the Na- tional Convention in Denver, Colorado in June.

A highlight of the second semester was the annual donkey basketball game held in February. Junior Jeff Austin won the prize for the hobby donkey riding, while the senior boys defeated the junior boys, and the senior girls defeated the junior girls. A coke machine, installed and sponsored by Student Council, was something new this year. All the proceeds were used to buy useful articles for the school. March 20 through 24 marked the first Cour- tesy Week at Urbana High School in eight years. Betty Cook and Ann Litherland were the co- chairmen. The main features were movies, ques- tionnaires, courtesy skits, an essay program with “The Echo, and courtesy scouts. The usual interesting Student Government Day was held in the spring and a suggestion box was started. On April 20-22, six members of the Urbana High School Council attended the convention of the Illinois Association of Student Councils held in Peoria. They were Barbara Webber, council president, and first vice-president of the I. A. S. C., Betty Cook, panel discussion member, Ruth Mautz, chairman of the I. A. S. C. Consti- tutional committee, Ann Litherland, president of Champaign district, and the two elected dele- gates, Norma Bean, and Gretchen Fisch. The year closed with the annual picnic given by the newly elected council for the retiring council. The new officers were installed then. Our heartiest thanks to our adviser, Mr. R. S.

The 1950 Rosemary 63 In its second year of existence ot Urbona High, the International Language Club, consist- ing of the German, Latin, and Spanish depart- ments, came through with flying colors. Miss Bauer, Miss Kirk, and Mrs. Moot, the three club advisers, were also sponsors of the International Language Club. During the year, the club was guided by the executive council, composed of the officers of each club. There was a complex rotation of the officers every three months, so that each presi- dent presided over three meetings. The execu- tive council for September, October, and Novem- ber was as follows: President, Frances Frank (German); Secretary, Nancy Wilkison (Spanish); Treasurer, Andrea Freeman (Latin). In Decem- ber, January, and February the officers were as follows: President, Lyle Dahlenburg (Latin); Sec- retary, Linna Springer (German); Treasurer, John Oliver (Spanish). During March, April, and May, these were the officers: President, Betty Snider (Spanish); Secretary, Gretchen Fisch (Latin); Treasurer, Rosemary Hance (German). The Vice- Presidents, Bill Anderson (German), Shirley Cli- nard (Latin), and Charlotte Bunn (Spanish), were Council Members-at-Large. The second Thursday of each month was the meeting time for the club. A picnic at Hessel Park started off the year. In October, the first forma! business meeting was held at which plans were laid for formulating the club's constitution and other data into a booklet. The initiates of each club, having a six weeks' average of C or better, were admitted by formal initiation at a pot-luck meeting in November, when the next three months' officers were also installed. In the December meeting, Mr. John- son of the Classical Department of the U. of I. told the club about interesting Christmas cus- toms all over the world. Instead of a gift ex- change, each club used their money to send o CARE package overseas. At the January meeting, members from each department told about food customs in the three countries. The February meeting was held in the library and international games were played. In March, Mr. Fletcher showed pictures of his trip through Guatemala, Panama, and Cuba. The third group of officers took charge. A Mother's Day Tea and an election of next year's officers were held in April. A picnic at which the officers for next year were installed concluded the year's activities. At that time, each president drew for the rotating order of the executive council for next year. tf UKOK 'DefXVlttHeKt First row — Anderson, Egger, Hance, Springer, Frank, Mattlin, Miss Bauer.

Phi Kappa Kappa, one of the oldest, largest, and most active clubs in school, progressed under the new spon- sorship of Miss Lorree M. Maranville. The club held its first party in October when the members went to see Le Comte De Monte-Cristo. Later, there was a Christmas party at which gifts were exchanged. Perhaps the highlight of events for Phi Kappa Kappa was the January Ini- tiation Banquet. Their formal initia- tion took place, followed by the movies of a young couple who hod visited France. Also, a one-act comedy play, The Cafe Cognac, was presented by a group of second and third year French students. Late in the spring came the installation of officers for the next year followed by a scavenger hunt. La Chasse. Again this year the traditional basketball schedule pencils were sold. For the first time, mem- bers sold large Urbana Tigers badges. Another activity which Phi Kappa Kappa sponsored was the all-school Valentine Dance on February 1 1. Under a new sponsor.

Ex Libris, our library club, completed another successful year of library service and training. The main purpose of this organization was managing the library and increasing the read- ing interests of the students of UHS. During the year Ex Libris held several social events. In the middle of October, an informal initiation picnic was held at which time its nine new members were introduced into the club. A holiday party was given at Christmas time; a formal initiation banquet in February and the annual library club dance took place on March 31 in the gym. April Fool was the theme of this dance, which was a vice-versa affair. A guest picnic, held in May, was Ex Libris' final activity of the year. Among its money-making projects this year, the library club shared in selling concessions at foot- ball games, and also helped in the check room at the Armory. With the money earned from these projects and the March dance. Ex Libris furnished the library with a very comfortable three-piece davenport for the magazine corner. In future years the club hopes to add other chairs and a table to this set. Under the direction of Mrs. Lenna Schwabe, Ex Libris completed another outstanding year of service.

The Urbana Chapter had a group of about thirty girls this year. Their sponsor was Mrs. Hazel Hasty and their Chapter Mother was Mrs. Tom Booe. Girls who desire membership in F. H. A. are on probation for one semester and before they are formally initiated they must pass a test on facts concerning F. H. A. and its purposes. After initia- tion, the girls work toward degrees of achievement. The theme for this year was Stepping Stones to Better Homes. This was carried out in pro- gram books, place cards, name tags, and the publicity book. All the members worked hard on the club's publicity book which contains all the chapter records and activities and is entered in sectional and state competition. Some service activities carried on by the chapter this year were sending clothes to children of Shallmar, Maryland, a small mining town, and making Thanksgiving tray favors for the patients at the T.

Working Together to Serve Others, as its motto states. Junior Red Cross also worked to reor- ganize under o new sponsor, Mrs. Leta S. Baxter. The responsibilities of the club were doubly great since the county organization of the Red Cross was also undergoing reorganization. For the first time, each homeroom and club in school elected two representatives to the Red Cross Council. The first project sponsored by the council was a bakery sale in November. Profits from this sale were sent to the National Children's Fund. At Christmas, members of the council made tray fa- vors for Chanute Field. Instead of the usual gift boxes. Junior Red Cross filled a large chest mode by the Manual Arts Department. Probably the largest project the Junior Red Cross undertook was its annual donee in April for the benefit of the National Children's Fund. The dance, o sock hop, was one of the most original donees of the year. Everyone left his shoes ot the door and prizes were given for the largest, loudest, and holiest socks. All in oil, the Junior Red Cross looks back upon a very successful year. OFFICERS — Normo Creekmur, Vice-President; John Porter, Treasurer; Barbara Rhody, Secretary; Olga Egger, President.

H SK, more formally known as Social Klub, is one of the main all-girls' organizations of UHS. Miss Fisher, Dean of Girls, is the sponsor of this organ- ization. SK started off a successful year with their annual Big-Little Sister Party in the gym. New stu- dents and freshmen received SK members os their big sisters for on afternoon of record-dancing, en- tertainment, and refreshments. By this system, the new students get acquainted with the upperclass- men and vice versa. SK sponsored two after-game hops this year. The first one was held after the Danville game on Sep- tember 30 and the second hop was held after the Peoria Central game on November 10. Out-of-town students and players were invited to attend the hops to get better acquainted with UHS and its students. One highlight of the year was the Valentine Hop that SK sponsored on February 10. The hop was an after-school affair for girls and boys. Tradi- tional red hearts were the theme of the hop. The programs were red hearts, and candy hearts of all colors were served as refreshments. The senior girls were honored at the annual breakfast held on May 23. The new officers were sworn in at this time. And so another successful year ended for the Social Klub.

The club not only aided its members in becoming better photogra- phers, but also served the rest of the school with its photography service. A Camera Club Photo Shop where quality was high and prices were low was established for the purpose of taking pictures for any stu- dent. This shop had its headquarters in the room of Mr. P. E. Smith, the club's sponsor. The shop also offered picture reprinting and picture developing service. For the seniors, the club made a special offer for making senior picture reprints. Regular club meetings were held every Mon- day evening. These meetings combined both fun and work. Through the year, the club also pre- pared for a May salon at which time awards were presented for outstanding photographs and accomplishments during the year.

The purpose of this organiza- tion is to give its members experience in the op- eration and upkeep of audio visual equipment. The main duties of the members are showing movies for various classes and keeping the ma- chines in smooth running order. Under the spon- sorship of Mrs. Lenna Schwabe, the club has Room 119 for its headquarters. In order to learn more about projector tech- niques, the club took several interesting trips to local theatres. They visited the projection booths and studied the methods of showing full length films. In the latter part of the year, the club showed movies during the lunch periods. Ten cents was charged for the program which in- cluded two films. Officers of the club for this past year were Claris Tenbrook, President; Cliff Schilling, Vice- President; Rosemary Kinney, Recording Secre- tary; Kay Evans, Corresponding Secretary; and Russell Elliott, Treasurer.

Bob Lustig as Dutch Miller On November 18, Best Foot Forward was given before a near capacity audience. This rol- licking comedy, directed by Mrs. Inez Bradshaw and Linna Springer, began the UHS dramatic season on a very successful note. Centering around Gayle Joy, a haughty movie actress, the plot thickens when she accepts an invitation to the senior prom at a small college in the East. Miss Joy, excellently portrayed by Joan Burch, is invited to the dance by Bud Hooper, a glamour-struck schoolboy, played expertly by Claris Tenbrook. Complications arise when Bud finds he has two girls on his hands for the prom. His second date is Helen Schlessinger who is realistically portrayed by Kay White. A large supporting cast added a great deal of comedy and confusion to Bud's predicament. The proper college atmosphere was achieved by sets made by the stagecraft class. The varied elements of humor and excitement in this pro- duction held the attention of the audience throughout, and made the story come alive. The cast and directors deserve a great deal of praise for a truly outstanding production.

Delta Sigma is an honorary speech and dramatics club sponsored by Mrs. Inez Bradshaw. Membership is gained by earning a desig- nated number of points through participation in plays, by working on play committees, and by working in assemblies. At the first meeting of Delta Sigma, members were invited to attend a barn dance at Leverett Hall, given by some of the parents. They were also presented with a new point system for admission into Delta Sigma. The Christmas Dance, one of the most attractive dances ever held at UHS, was given on December 17. The Rosemary Queen was crowned at The Sleigh Ride, the name given to the dance. February 9 was the date of the initiation for Delta Sigma and Thes- pians, her sister club. Three new members were initiated into Delta Sigma and one into Thespians. In the spring, Delta Sigma took the annual trip to Chicago. They saw an outstanding play production and visited places of interest in and around the Loop. The Blue Moon Dance was held in May. At this record dance the Man in the Moon was crowned. The last social function of Delta Sigma was a picnic and spring initiation. At this gathering the will and prophecy were read. Delta Sigs Always Dig. The motto of Delta Sigma was truly carried out this year as was shown by the increase in membership. OFFICERS — First row — Bob Lustig, Vice-President.

Mr. Duda, head director, and Mr. Hubbel, assistant director, deserve much credit for making our band one of the best in the state. Some of us played in the band; others of us made up the band audiences. From either stand- point, it is truly a fine group. Those of us who were in the band scurried to practice every morning first hour and sometimes we were even there at 8:00 o'clock! Others of us first saw the band per- form during the halves of the football games. We surely felt proud as our band made the many for- mations and even more so when they formed a huge U H S and played our Loyalty. The band also per- formed on the Mattoon field during the half of the Urbana-Mattoon football game. Also, in the fall, the band held a late Fall Concert. They gave a varied program, concluded by Christmas carols. The band played for Armistice Day and Memorial Day services also. The goal of the bond each year, naturally, is to receive a high rating in the state band contest. At the district meet, held at Champaign on April 1, the band received a first rating and therefore advanced to the state meet at Taylorville on April 27-28. Another division of the music department which is closely linked with the band is the ensemble group. This year there were twelve ensembles that represented UHS ot the district meet held at Ur- bana High School on March 25. Those re- ceiving first ratings advanced to the state meet. Another sub-division of the band is the Pep band. They played at all our pep- assemblies and led the cheering crowds at our games. To climax a most successful year, the band gave a Spring Concert on April 21. And then their last performance was play- ing for commencement.

Voc zC The Urbana High School Vocal Depart- ment, consisting of the chorus and the choir, under the able leadership of Miss Margaret Sapp, have acquired a high reputation at Ur- bana High School and in the community. The A Cappella Choir, decked in their black choir robes, entertained Urbana High students and the community many times during the year. This group, which was new last year, had a membership of thirty-four this year. The second and larger of the vocal groups was the chorus. Their fifty-four members sang at our assemblies and community events throughout the year. Another group of vocalists was the ensem- bles, consisting of a sextet, a trio, and eleven soloists. The ensembles represented Urbana High in the District Music Contest held at UHS on March 25. Those who received a first rating then advanced to the state contest, which was held April 28-29. Because there were so many contestants, Urbana first held a sub-district contest. The Vocal Department played a large part in our many assemblies. They sang several hymns in the Thanksgiving assembly. The chorus, in a large sleigh, and the choir, on risers, sang traditional songs at the Christmas assembly. The chorus colored the Valentine Assembly with their selection of Sweet- hearts. In the spring, a chorus assembly was staged. Also, in the spring, the Vocal Depart- ment gave a concert.

The highlight of the vocal season was the Big Twelve Music Festival. All Big Twelve groups met at Pekin on May 6. The combined 1,000 voices were directed by Olaf Christiansen. The day consisted of two two-hour rehearsals and a performance in the evening. Surely no one can forget this inspiring experience. Much credit should be given to Miss Sapp, her practice teachers, and the vocal groups for some fine performances. SOLOISTS—First row—Cline, Springer, Noormon, Toylor, Brown.

The 1950 Rosemary 87 ' , J ifi Oeci aacAe Mr. Gene Armer, Athletic Director, Mr. Woodrow Viscur, Assistant in Football, Basketball, and Trock; Mr. Head Basketball Coach Bill Senn, Head Football and Wrestling Coach; and Mr. John Harmon, Head Track and Swimming Coach. Urbana High is extremely proud of the fine coaching staff which directs its athletic features so capably. More popular and able men cannot be found. Mr. Gene Armer, Director of Athletics, fin- ished his fifth year as a coach on the Urbana staff and through his spirit and determination has earned the respect of all associated with him. This year, Gene served as head basketball coach, head cross-country coach, and assisted in track. Although he resigned from his basketball coach- ing duties, he will remain next year as athletic director. Under his capable direction, Urbana's athletic fortunes are sure to rise. Acting as head football and wrestling coach for the third year, Bill Senn has become a well- known and liked figure around UHS. Although his teams have been riddled by injuries, his spirit of determination has done much to pull his boys through. After this year. Bill has decided to take up full-time teaching duties. As coach of the Tiger cubs, Woodrow Viseur has won the admiration of all Tiger athletes. Woody has assisted in all sports at UHS very capably. As reserve coach, the Tiger future rests in his hands. The fine record of Woody's fresh- man-sophomore teams show a definite upswing in Bengal sport activities. The fourth member of the staff is head track and head swimming coach, John Harmon. In only his second year as a coach at UHS, John's teams have made outstanding records for UHS. With a greatly improved swimming team and a high ranking track team, Mr. Harmon has proven himself to be a capable and hard-working coach. The Athletic Department at UHS this year has been led by a truly fine coaching staff. 90 The 1950 Rosemary eia The U Club, exclusive to letter winners, is the organization to which every Tiger athlete wishes to obtain membership. The aim of this group is to promote better sportsmanship, to pro- mote ideal manhood, and to aid the coaching staff. Although the U Club does not meet too fre- quently, it is very active. Among the new proj- ects of the club this year was the assembling and distribution of new, colorful football programs. These were distributed at each of Urbana's five home games. The project proved very successful financially, thus netting the U Club quite a profit. Also, U Club members served as ushers at the basketball games held in the Urbana Na- tional Guard Armory. The annual U Club dance, one of the nicest of the year, was held on May 13 in the UHS gym. At this time new members were initiated into the club. Those who were initiated were Ray Stout, Jim Valentine, Bob Swisher, Marion McKenry, Wayne Haines, George Milum, Bill Farnham, Don Himes, Jerry Hay, George Mal- lock, Jim Fitzgerald, Bob Davidson, Harmon Smith, Merwin Kirby, Ray Wilson, Pierce Ketchum, John Hedgecock, Tom Luker, Jim Gregerson, Bob Long, Jim Kehm, Joe Clay, Jim Johnson, Carl Shaw, and Jerry Grey.

Urbana was in the midst of a polio epidemic. As a result, early drills were postponed. But several of our eager gridders circulated a petition among the foot- ball parents, asking their permission to resume practice. The School Board accepted the petition and practice was started. From all indications shown in the opening game, the Tigers, showing much drive and spirit, were on their way to a successful season. But, as the season progressed, the Bengals, plagued with hard luck and injuries, found it difficult to hold their own against larger Big Twelve teams.

They had a record of two ties and seven losses. Sparked by hard-driving Andy Stutes and an aggressive forward wall, the Tigers, gaining a 12-12 tie, completely outplayed the Charleston Trojans. Stutes, the work-horse of Coach Bill Senn's V-formation, averaged 5 yards in 32 car- ries and scored both Urbana's touchdowns. The Tiger defense held the opponent's offense help- less, except for Bob Water's two long, twisting runs. In the second game of the year, the Tigers lost a heartbreaker to Georgetown, 7-6. Stutes again made the only Urbana score on a spectac- ular touchdown run of 60 yards through the entire Buffalo team. But then, on the following kickoff, Georgetown's Joe Bodart grabbed the Howard Current Junior center; hard tockler; next yeor's coptoin. pigskin on the 15 and raced to pay dirt; George- town made the all-important extra point and that was the game. Urbana's defense was led by the Clark brothers and Joe Clay. In the Big Twelve opener with Danville, too much speed and deception downed the Tigers, 40-12. Merwin Kirby was the author of both UHS touchdowns which come in the closing min- utes, passing to Al Mohr for one, and bucking over for the other. On defense, Ray Foltz and Howard Current were outstanding. Fighting with the never-say-die spirit, the Tigers lost to Mattoon, 31-6, but proved without a doubt that they were the fighting Tigers. Don Weeks Junior tackle; good defensive blocker. ItbCRos The 1950 Rosemary 97 SCHLARMAN OF DANVILLE GAME—Andy Stutcs lunges into the Schlarmon line. Previous to this game Mattoon wos unscored upon; in fact, no team hod come within their 20-yard line. However, in the fourth quarter. Bob Smith scored from the 7 to break Mattoon's spell. The outstanding player on the field was the Tiger's Howard Current, who was all over the field making tackles, throwing blocks, and pep- ping up his teammates. After playing three quarters of tight defense with Schlarman, the fourth quarter just held one touchdown too many. At the start of the fourth quarter, the ball rested on Urbana's 2-yard line. On the third attempt, the Hilltoppers top- pled over and made the score 6-0. Then, two plays after the kickoff, Merwin Kirby passed to Jim Johnson Freshmon bock; great punter. Ron Canaday, who sprinted 68 yards to tie the score, 6-6. Stutes failed to carry the ball over for the conversion. Minutes later, Klein fired a pass to Strader on the 10 and he went over to make the final score 12-6. Our Tigers almost pulled an upset over Deca- tur, but the Red's reserves told the story in our defeat, 27-2. At the end of the first half, the Bengals were ahead, 2-0; Jim Gregerson had scored by downing Muth in the Decatur end zone. Jim Johnson, darting 67 yards at one time, shone on offense. The second half was Deca- tur's. Although the Tigers batted down Decatur passes and stopped the charging Red backs, the Reds managed to score five touchdowns to thrill their homecoming fans. Thus, the final score was 27-2. The Tigers, plagued by injuries to many key Bob Long Sophomore back; hord-driving runner. 98 The 1950 Rosemary PRE-SEASON SCRIMMAGE—Bob Smith posses to . . .

Joe Cloy was the pile-driver for Urbana, hitting the rough Lions' line for many valuable gains. On defense, it was Bob Jones, Howard Current and Ray Foltz. In Urbana's fourth Big Twelve outing, the Ti- gers were defeated, 45-0, by Champaign, Big Twelve Champs. The closest Urbana penetrated to the Maroon's goal line was the 15-yard line on two completed passes from Merwin Kirby to Al Mohr. Outstanding performances for the Ti- gers were given by the defensive play of Bob Jones and the punting of Jim Johnson. The Bengals completed the season by tying Peoria Central, 14-14.

Following the football season, the Tigers were honored at the annual Elks' Banquet.

Urbana won the game, 44-42. Sai et all Urbana's hopes were high at the beginning of the season with the return of three lettermen. Early season practices got under way in our own high school gym and then the boys moved to the Urbana National Guard Armory, where all our home games were played. The Tigers roared off to a great start by beat- ing two highly rated teams, Mattoon and Morton of Cicero. The Mattoon game belonged solely to the Bengals. They controlled the backboards, shot well, and gave Mattoon plenty of trouble. Playing good ball in every respect. Urbana pulled an upset over Morton of Cicero, in a game that wasn't decided until the gun sounded. The next week the boys traveled to Champaign as a slight favorite but were nipped in the final minutes. After two setbacks. Urbana, playing their best ball of the year, overpowered the Decatur Reds, Ken Clark gets around his guard and Aims . . . Shoots . . . Don't get grabby now; can't you sec that the Clark Boys Swish!!! This all happened in the Urbana-Danville game have the ball! at this time rated third in the state. But then the UHS powerhouse ran out of gas. During the mid-season slump, the Tigers lost many thrillers by just a few points. Bad luck was against them and it wasn't until February 7 that the Bengals pulled another win, it being over Georgetown. Two weeks later, the cagers traveled to Charleston and completely ran over the Charles- ton team. Sporting a five win, sixteen loss record, Ur- bana entered the regional tournament at Paxton. Urbana drew Onarga Military School for the first round and by a spurt in the last quarter, won to advance to the second round. In this game the Bengals played even with Rantoul for the last three quarters, but the first quarter held the dif- ference as Urbana came out on the short end of the score, 60-42. We will always remember our senior cagers for something individualistic — Max, for his long shots; Fred, for his one-hand push shot from the side; Ken, for his rebounding; Harry, for his two- Max Hickcrson soars up for a onc-handcr in the Morton of Cicero game.

All of this molded together, plus the varsity playing of the under- classmen, produced a well-rounded team. Since the home basketball games were held in the Urbana National Guard Armory, the Tigers had a better chance to prepare for games away than teams in previous years have had. This was the second year that the practices and home games were held in this large gym. The basketball cagers were honored at the end of the season by their mothers and also by the American Legion. At the latter banquet, Harry Combes was the master of ceremonies and Don Sunderlage, U. of I. basketball star, presented Max Hickerson the George Widing Trophy, the award given the player with the best free throw percentage. Although Urbana lost seven senior lettermen, the future Tigers have much to look forward to! Good luck, future Tigers! Ah, yes, the Decatur Game!! This is one time they had the ball, but Wright, K.

This year, the Urbona High Wrestling team had a very successful season. The matmen won eight, tied one, lost four, and qualified three contestants for the state meet. The grapplers also placed third in both the Big Twelve and Sectional meets. Five returning lettermen and one other regular were back from the preceding season. Several of the boys had gained weight and some of the weights were changed. This left positions open to inexperienced can- didates. As the season progressed, these new boys gave the best boys a good fight. The Tigers opened the season with a convincing rout of Catlin. The following week the boys traveled to Pekin to be beaten by the future Big Twelve Champs, 24-14. Mattoon and Paxton were the next two victims to fall before our musclemen. Nearly everyone registered a pin in the Mattoon meet. The next opponent, Champaign, proved a little too good and beat the grapplers, 19-17. The new year began with a second loss to CHS, 24-14. Next, in a thrilling, hard-fought match, Danville came from behind to tie the wrestlers, 17-17. Then, Peoria was easily defeated. Pekin again defeated the boys but Urbana whipped Catlin to close the first semester. Pax- ton and Mattoon were handed lopsided losses as our boys got off to a good start. Danville couldn't quite get back from behind the last time so our grapplers squeezed out a 19-18 win. At the end of the season a dinner was given by sev- eral of the mothers honoring the wrestlers.

Under the capable direction of Coach John Harmon, the swimmers of UHS finished another suc- cessful season. During the season, the Tigers won two dual meets and lost seven. To look at the brighter side, the Tiger tankmen made an outstanding record in the Big Twelve and the state meets. In Big Twelve competition, the Urbana team finished in second place behind Peoria Central. In the state meet, UHS tied for ninth. The outstanding record of the Urbana swimmers, achieved through long hours of practice and training, is the deserved reward for their great effort and determination.

A., the Girls' Athletic Association, boasts one of the largest, active memberships of the many clubs under the big tent. This year, under the fine sponsor- ship of Miss Dora Miller and Miss Bede Piercy, G. A. A. again offered the UHS gals a year 'round program of sports and activities. To start the year off right, softball teams were or- ganized which practiced each Tuesday and Thursday night after school. Soon it was time for basketball, a popular sport of the G. A. A. girls. After meeting a number of times for practice, each class organized a team, and a tournament between classes was held. The sophomore class captured first place in the con- test with the class of '50 not far behind. Bowling, tumbling, volleyball, badminton, and swimming were the other winter sports. The bowling and swimming teams participated in telegraphic state tournaments. With the coming of spring, softball again became the main organized sport. Besides these many organized activities, the G. A. A. members also participated in many unorganized activities such as hiking, bicycling, skating, tennis, and horseback riding. The Girls' Athletic Association does not limit its activities to sports alone, but also sponsors many so- cial activities. This year, instead of the usual Buddy Picnic, a wiener roast was held for the old members and for all other girls who were interested in joining G. A. A. The club also sponsored a hop after a foot- ball game, and sold orange and black crepe-paper pompons before the big Urbana-Champaign game this fall. A little later, the informal initiation was held. At this affair the incoming members brought in their penny rolls and were heartily welcomed into the club by the old members. Other social events held during the year were the formal initiation and the award banquet in the spring. With its many activities, G. A. A. is one of the most popular clubs in the UHS circus.

The first dance of the year was the Freshman Frolic, honoring the freshmen. The all-school affair, sponsored by the Student Council, was held in the gym on October first. The theme was Wishing. Another dance sponsored by the Stu- dent Council was the Sadie Hawkins Dance, climaxing a week in which the girls did all the chasing and paid all the bills. The gals came dressed as Daisy Mae and the guys donned Li'l Abner's costume. The highlight of the dance of October 29 was the selection of the best Daisy Mae, Harriett Jasperson, and the best Li'l Abner, Tom Hauersperger. Two weeks later, the UCU Three Ring Circus was held at CJHS. This dance was sponsored by the Tri-High Councils, and was held for students of the three schools. Paul Douglas' orches- tra played for the dance of November 12. The highlight of the evening was the floor show, climaxed by the crowning of the three Tri-High Queens. Joan Willard was the queen representing Urbana. The Snow Ball highlighted the Christmas season. The annual Christmas Dance, sponsored by Delta Sigma, was on December 17. The decorations featured a false ceiling in three domes and the band stand as a sleigh pulled by high reindeer. Janet Green, Miss Rosemary of 1950, was crowned at the dance. Janet's attendants were Barbara Webber and Marilyn Webber. Decorations at the Christmas Dance 134 The 1950 Rose maty 0 0 0 0 .

Her court consisted of Carmen Mowry, Elaine Linford, Janet Manke, Barbara Webber, Janet Green, seniors; Wanda Mei- back, junior. The U Club dance began the many May events. The colorful dance was held in our UHS gym on May 13. New members were initiated at this time. A large crepe-paper dome ceiling topped the beautifully decorated gym. Bill Helm provided the music. Delta Sigma then took the spotlight again, sponsoring the Blue Moon Dance. Donny Elam was crowned The Man in the Moon,, at the vice versa affair which was held on May 20. Sparkling stars hung from the ceiling and a blue moon (spotlight) set the mood for the spring fling. Chuck Francisco from WKID played the records. Then, at the end of the year, came the Prom. The spa- cious Urbana-Lincoln Ball Room was the place; Bud Roder- ick's was the orchestra; and June first was the date. Junior- Senior couples danced; the Prom Queen and her Attendants reigned; a floor show was presented—all this added up to a fine way in which to conclude the social events of the year 1949-1950.

The Tiger's Den offered many kinds of entertainment. Naturally, dancing was the main attraction. The ping-pong tables were always in use and cards and games were available in the lounge. There was also a radio in the roomy lounge. For that bit to drink, the snack bar offered soft drinks. The first dance of the school year was a street dance to welcome the freshmen. Next, was the registration dance with Bud Roderick's orches- tra supplying the music. Others were the Hallowe'en Party, the Thanks- giving Dance, the Christmas Dance, a New Year's Party, two hard times parties, and an Easter Dance. The Tiger's Den sponsored buses to out-of-town football games, a service greatly appreciated by everyone. A new type of membership card was sold in the second semester. At the time only U. H. S. mem- bers and their guests were allowed to come to the Tiger's Den. The successful 1949-50 school year was climaxed by a Graduation Dance honoring the class of 1950. This event was supervised by the newly elected Tiger's Den Council of 1950-51. The Tiger's Den Council, the Adult Advisory Board, and Mr. George Torhand certainly deserve a big hand in making our Tiger's Den one of the finest youth centers.

Found the people in confusion. Heard of all the misdemeanors. All the malice and the mischief Of the deadly polio. Every school was thrown off schedule. Our first football gome postponed. So the brove September slew him. Slew the dreadful polio. Back to school the kiddies tottered. Bought their books ot Knowlton-Bennett's, Paid their dues to clubs ond classes. Voted for the Court of Honor— Chose it for the coming year. Nimbly did October prance. With her came the Freshman Frolic, Came the yearly Class Elections, Come Phi Kappa Kappa pencils. Came the Sadie Howkins donee. Into action leopt the girlies. Thought up awful schemes ond plans; Chosed the boys with brilliant ambush Till their panting breath grew fainter. Till their frozen grasp grew feebler. Till THEY reeled and staggered bockward And surrendered, baffled, beoten. To the Kingdom of the Women To the Sodie Howkins Dance— Hearing still the gusty laughter Of the smug, victorious damsels. Finally came the good November. Now the gentlemen made reody Washed their cars and polished fenders. Shined their shoes ond slicked their hair. Bought corsages for the ladies. For their lady friends to wear; Took the pretty girls out dancing Dancing ot the Tri-High Circus, Where they crowned Joan Willard queen. Then there came the football banquet. Choosing Jones outstanding lineman. Choosing Stutes most valuable. Exit Football, enter sports of Swimming, Wrestling, Basketball. Here was busy, brisk December, Full of mighty preparations For the coming feast of Christmas, For the festive holidays. Best of oil was Delta Sigma's Long awaited Christmas Dance. There was crowned the yearbook's queen. Smiling, happy Janet Green. Strong the wrestlers felt the spirit. Started out the coming season With o triumph over Catlin. Soon the warriors of the court Reveled in their chosen sport; Mottoon was the first to go. Then the fearful Cicero. Sing o song of Nineteen Fifty, Sing of merry January, Sing of joy when P. T. A. Gave a hearty carnival. And oh, the happy days that followed! Oh, the jokes and pranks thot followed In the clossrooms and the holls! Then suddenly, filled full of horror Realization was upon us Second Semester creeping toward us! Doys of learning, study, cramming. Grasping, gasping, hardly lasting Till those fateful, hateful days Of the First Semester Finals. You sholl hear how February With its cold and dreary weather Brought the students riding donkeys; Wounded, weary, yet victorious Were the seniors in the ball game. Modem dancing then took over. Here we shone, with much elation In the Volentine's Assembly, And the P. E. Demonstration. March came quickly, bringing with her Snowy, cold, and windy weather. Bringing yearly tournaments; Sectional and Sweet Sixteen. Students, nervous and excited, Could not settle down to study. Thought of only gomes ond scores. Sneaked from clossrooms, Sneaked to listen over hidden radios. Finally in desperation. Teachers, principal decided To let us have a day's vacation. Let us have a day of freedom. Hand-in-hand came May and April, Came the months of rain and sunshine. Bringing all the signs of springtime, Bringing meets of track and field. Urbana Relays, District, State, Quickly followed ir their turn. Seniors mode their plons for leaving, Plans of Closs Night ond of Skip Day And of stately Baccalaureate. Came the merry U Club Dance, And the starlit Blue Moon Dance. But the spell of spring was broken By the Final Examinations. Full of peace was gentle June, When she came here ofter finals. Sow she, when the sun descended. And the darkness fell around us, Formols swishing in the moonlight. Scents of roses and gardenias. Couples dancing at the Prom. Now the first pale sun-light roys Sift through the mists of early morning. And tired Seniors, going homeward. Soy goodbye to high school days. Thus deports the Class of '50, In the glory of the sunset. In the purple mists of evening. With the solemn Graduation: Looking forward to the future To the land of Independence Full of strange and new adventures. —Emily Brown Pictures . . . f4c£H uvledye 4te tt Engraving . . .
